Watching Sharrod Wellingham play reminds me of one player...

[TheClokes]

Adem Yze.

I watched Sharrod play on the weekend and was impressed!
He reminds me of Adem Yze so much.

How the hell did this kid not get on a AFL list?
What flaw has he got?

It he reminds you of Yze then the flaw might be that he is soft as butter in a hot day. I haven't seen him play but I sure as hell hope not.

He played ok on the weekend, a bit small, not really that quick, ill pass judgement until i see him live on sunday.

Me too.


There's a lot of Adam Yze in Sharrod Wellingham: similarly built, but needs to bulk up, great kick and football smart. Good pick-up! I was going to post it eventually.

I wish he was on the senior list, would be a shoe-in for selection, IMO.

He looks a class above VFL. And ego needs to get in the 1s asap to see if he is an AFL only player. Looks supreme but something is missing, might be the slower VFL.

We can make that happen in a heartbeat, but I don't think he's ready.

I saw him play against the Tigers and sorta watched a bit on Satdy, although I was dozing in and out of consciousness.

In both games he's drifted in and out a little, but also seemed to improve as the game went on.

As for hardness, I would say he's outside, but does attack the loose ball fast, direct and hard. Not a total seagull.

Raw, but with good current ability and plenty of upside. Strange noone else had a punt earlier.

He was fantastic at crunch time in the last quarter. I rate Wellingham very highly indeed, he actually reminded me more of Daniel Kerr, not that he's got Kerr's ability, but that he's very compact and has very good skills.

must have speed off the mark, as quick as rusling over 20 metres.As tall or taller than thomas, johnson,didak,holland,O'bree,davis,IIes,lockyer and medhurst, you get the picture.With the draft of the rookies someone said it was between goldsack and wellingham at the main draft.So hes faster than thomas,reid and brown over 20 m.Like most pies supporters hope for the best for wellingham,clarke,nicholls and mccaffer.
